Wounded NYC parking attendant holds no ill will toward gunman
2023-04-09
[NYPOST] A Manhattan parking-garage worker who was shot in the stomach by a would-be thief before wrestling the gun away and injuring the suspect, holds no ill-will towards his assailant, a family friend told The Post.
When I was a young man, back in the Upper Paleolithic, people would occasionally shoot at me, or at least in my direction. I always held it against them. Still do, in fact.
Moussa Diarra, 57, was initially hit with an attempted-murder rap for shooting his alleged attacker, Charles Rhodie.

The charges were quickly dropped.

The two men tussled during an April 1 altercation at a Meyer’s Parking garage on West 31st Street.

“He’s happy to be doing better and to be released soon. He keeps a positive mind, he’s a good person. He’s not even angry about what happened to him. We’re thanking God everyday,” said Mariame Diarra Souabo, a family friend who used to live in the same apartment as Diarra and his family in the Bronx, said of the attendant.

Souabo, like Diarra and his family, hails from West Africa, Ivory Coast. She said the only person currently visiting him is his wife. Souabo said she spoke with Diarra over the phone on Thursday.

The parking attendant is “undecided on whether he will return to work,” she said.

It's the drugs.
